You are a pearl of great price to me, but there are times when you are an almighty trial to those who love you. ― Charles Portis, True Grit Monday morning, cold and mean. Up at the corner, by the Elk Creek Cafe, I swing the hard left that aims my Honda down the valley. West. West in the morning. I always make this turn, never the right, never the east do I seem to seek. It’s old fashion in a way, heading out into a new day and aiming yourself at the long road of forever. The west, here in America, in my America at least, she starts up around the Elk Creek and she just goes and goes and goes.
Loved this. The poetic imagery the moment, it all soared. If you haven’t gone there already—but of course you already have in songs—but there are short stories in you trying to find their way to the surface. Probably a novel or two. Each week, your writing gets stronger.
Once again the sheer poetry of your writing astounds. I find myself happily surprised week after week. Not by your ability, which is glaringly obvious, but by the unexpected turns of a phrase that are immediately familiar. You see things that the rest of us tend to miss, though once pointed out, make us/me go, “Shit, yes! Yes!!! How did I not see that?!” You find the right words. Always. The right words.
Thank you so much, Tom. I’m really glad you dig reading my stuff. Means the world to me to hear you say such nice things. Thank you for the support. Have a great weekend.
It's life man...good & not as good days, but I am doing well, thanks. I just wanna get a little closer to what normal was. Play gigs, go to shows, etc. without drama! Ramroddin'!

Thank you so much, Taryn.
